java - How to optionally open last intellij project (or not) on startup? -

i have read question: stop intellij opening projects on startup

ideally, have 2 intellij icons on desktop - 1 opens lastly project , 1 doesn't.

in other words, flexibility of both functions.

perhaps intellij has command-line argument specify "mode" want on startup?

i'd rather not have fire editor , edit xml each time start intellij.

file --> settings --> appearance '&' behavior --> scheme settings.

click on scheme settings, not sub-tab, , uncheck box says "reopen lastly project on startup."

as far separate projects concerned could, perhaps, create shortcut iml or intellij project file in it's respective directory desktop , utilize that. way link many projects you'd like, though passing arguments intellij exe viable may bit impractical. plugin best automate process, don't know technicalities take these tips few grains of salt.

edit: think it's worth mentioning intellij's settings, spirit of java, has pretty close uniform , connected preferences accross platforms whether windows or linux or mac, extending features have made compatable specific platform if utilizes native function (like passing parameters exe in windows or doing same shell script in linux.)
